A couple of weeks ago I fitted new 275/45/20 Cooper Zeon LTZ's.
However I've always run the beefier 285/50/20s on my past D3 & D4.
So after the fittment of the 275/45's I did the maths and reckoned I'd just get away with 285/50/20s.
This afternoon I popped out to my local tyre guru Terry Elsey Ltd in Malton and had these big boys fitted by Jonny [fellow FL2 owner & forum member].
Thanks Jonny for your help & patience in getting these fitted for me.

Stopped on way home to take a few iphone pics before it got dark.
btw, FL2 was immaculate on Thurs morn - just valeted by LR dealer after Wed service - bit dirty now though.

Love it Ron. Looks mean and beefy, almost military spec without looking chavvy or drug dealer.
What about some chequer plate on the bonnet

Looks Mean

Thanks chaps

Now that's a good idea, somewhere to put my mug of tea.  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Seriously no rubbing ?

Looks good 😄

Nice Ron would never know it's a GS MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

Am really loving the look

Will the tyres rub the arches on the bumpy stuff? Maybe a suspension lift as the next mod?

Perhaps it's a street only car? No rubbing issues then....ooh matron  * GONE. GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.

That's impressive Ron, very impressive

Thanks all
Yes absolutely no clearance issues at all ......so far.
But you could only get a few sheets of A4 between the closest points, but that's only 1) the excess securing bracket of the front mudflaps when on lock, but the Dremel's at the ready, 2) the front wheel arch liner, but that also would pose no real problem, easy ways to get over that.
But key points are that there's no rubbing on the uprights, the spring seating base, nor on 'lock to lock'
I will be on the Moors today so will be able to check further and see if any fouling occurs.

btw, it isn't a 'street car', as on my weekend duties it is 'professionally' used off road - as it will be today............... but thanks for the thought

Do these bigger tyres affect the speedo and other things that are expecting a standard tyre size???
Insurance company should be informed to I guess? * GONE. GS TD4 Manual MY2013. Orkney Grey with privacy, cold and clearview packs, armrests (a must!) and a spoiler.

Are you sure the rubbers don't touch the rear struts?

Hope yours Haldex will hold over time...

Alex, I've already got you on my list to be the first to know when my Haldex goes pop.

btw, came accross this quote on another Haldex related thread .... mine though will no doubt go just that bit sooner.

Quote:

..... as all fl2s seem to suffer with this Haldex problem, guess its just if and when...

Don't know how else to say this

Had it out today off-road and found an ever so slight rubbing when I put it through various articulations.
That was on absolute [firmly held] full lock and then reversing [not going forward] - got a very slight rubbing, but only on a small protrussion on the rear of the front plastic wheel arch lining.
It'll be very occassional 'rubber to plastic' and is that small it's not worth hassling about as tyres will wear down a bit anyway..... or a ping with a toffee hammer!


Don't know how the MPG will go and frankly not really interested.
If I wanted frugal economy, then in a LR I'm driving the wrong brand of vehicle.

Yes I expected the speedo reading to be out, it was spot on with the 275's but now speedo under-reads by 2mph, I can live with that.

Oh and of course, the insurance company will be informed [as it always is with my modifications].
